Summary

Starting bitcoind with -onlynet=onion immediately after adding bitcoind user to debian-tor group will yield the following notice on debug.log:

"tor: Authentication cookie /run/tor/control.authcookie could not be opened (check permissions)"

Elaborate on the need to re-login to ensure debian-tor group has been applied to bitcoind user after:

sudo usermod -a -G debian-tor username

Verification can be done via groups command in shell.

Backport of Core PR16857
